Currently living in South Florida and moonlighting as a scuba instructor, I previously traveled extensively through South Asia and the Mediterranean for many years absorbing influences from distant lands and ancient cultures. My formal training in small metal sculpture and goldsmithing began at the San Francisco Academy of Art and the Revere College of Goldsmithing. I have been working at the bench for over 23 years and love to incorporate those wonderful travel experiences and my love of the sea and nature into whimsical, elegant and unique contemporary designs in precious metals and gemstones.
